MURDER HOUSE

I've talked to quite a few ladies lately about my fear of the dentist.
And clearly I am not alone, heaps of them are deathly afraid as well.

Back when I was a kid, going to the dental clinic meant PAIN... lots of pain.  They didn't give you injections for fillings back then, so it was an horrendous experience.

And I swear those dental nurses were hell bent on filling every tooth in my mouth!  

So, that's why I'm petrified of going today.

BUT.... I am sure once I'm there, and sedated, I will be OK.  It's just the fear of going that is doing my head in.

I can't wait to be rid of this toothache too! That's going to be bloody awesome... and I can finally stop stressing out!

I have been eating non stop from stress!  I'm a total emotional eater.  Grrrrr.  

Please let today go well... I will be back MUCH LATER, and let you know how it went, how I am feeling.

ONWARD...

PROUD MOTHER MOMENT:

Dear Mrs Christina Harvey

Re : Brylee Harvey 13DV

This letter is to inform you that Brylee has been awarded a New World Cambridge BRONZE Award (as at the end of 2017) through our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) Merit Certificate system.

Our PB4L Merit Certificate system is a long term reward scheme where students are acknowledged for showing significant or sustained respect, responsibility and/or achievement in and around the classroom. Acknowledgement can be given by any teacher through Faculty Merit Certificates and when a student has received five of these, they are presented with a Dean's Award for consistently displaying our school's expectations. When a student has received three Dean's Award, such as in Brylee's case, they are then presented with a BRONZE Award. It is worth noting that it takes five Merit Certificates for a student to be acknowledged with a Dean's Award so to achieve a BRONZE Award Brylee has received at least 15 Merit Certificates!

Along with this letter acknowledging Brylee's achievement, she will also be presented with a certificate and a reward. The reward has been kindly provided by one of our sponsors, New World Cambridge, and as such we ask you to support them in return.

The school wishes to take this opportunity to once again thank Brylee for her positive contribution to Cambridge High School and we encourage her to aim for a SILVER award, the next level of achievement in this rewards scheme. Students are acknowledged with a SILVER award once they have received another three Dean's Awards.


Yours sincerely,


Mr M Kuijpers
Assistant Principal


9.30 am: Not feeling too sick right now! Stomach is churning, but I feel kinda calm? Bet that changes soon...


10.36 am: And the fear is really kicking in now... I actually feel like throwing up.

God let this be OVER soon... I am beside myself with DREAD.


IT' DONE. I'm all numb... but OK!


The worst part was the anticipation... closely followed by the sedative injection! That bastard hurt like hell! And stung like mad.


But, once he started putting injections in my mouth I couldn't feel a thing!

Everything went well after that, even though I had patches of the shakes and discomfort from my lips being squished!


I am thinking I will have bruised lips later.


But on a whole, I am very relieved. It wasn't anywhere near as horrific as I thought it would be.


Everyone knew that eh? Wish I had.


I think from now on I will go a bit more regularly so the fear does not grow to such an extreme every again.

Brylee has a 'free' period this afternoon, so she just got home. Stew has gone back to work.

So, I have company while the sedation wears off, as I'm supposed to have.


All good. Stew is doing dinner tonight.


I'm off for a nap. Sweet dreams for a change I hope. *smiles*

SLEPT. LIKE. A. LOG.   And woke feeling fairly good.  Sore on one side, but let's wait and see if it settles down.
The dentist did say he was not sure if he could 'save' my back left tooth... but he would try.

If it doesn't stop hurting or gets worse, I will need another root canal!
But he won't charge me for the IV sedation if I do.  So, fingers crossed the tooth settles down.

Stew did franks on buns for dinner, nice and SOFT to eat.
We are now looking forward to a relaxing evening.  I'm going to try and finish the donkey wall hanging in time for Sunday's market.

Sunday it's supposed to be pissing down with rain!  Just my luck.
